CABLE DETANGLER
Some scooters are equipped with a cable detangler for the rear
brake. Follow these steps to aach the upper cable to the rear
brake lever. Figure 3.7
Loop the upper cables through the opening on the
handlebar. Note: One of the upper cable casings is shorter
than the other. The shorter side should be on the right. This
is the shorter distance between the brake lever and the
upper detangler plate.
On both sides, place the cable through the upper plate and
thread the adjusng barrels into it.
Insert the cables into the slots on the bearing plate. Note:
The lower cables should already be aached to the tabs on
the bearing unit.
Squeeze the brake lever several mes to be sure all the
cables are seated in the adjustment barrels. If there is
excess play before the brake cable starts to move, this can
be adjusted by turning the adjustment barrels.
a. First adjust the barrel adjuster at the mid point of the
upper cable unl the brake lever does not have any
free play.
b. Next squeeze the brake lever and allow it to return.
c. Check to see if the bearing unit booms out on the
lower detangler plate. If so, unscrew the adjust barrel
further unl the bearing unit sits about 1 mm above
the lower plate. This is the correct posion for the
bearing unit.
Rotate the handlebars back and forth and then turn them
completely around 360 degrees. Observe if the bearing unit
spins quietly, or if it “ops” back and forth. If it has any op,
this can be ne tuned with the four adjustment barrels in
the upper and lower plates. The goal is to reduce or
eliminate as much of the op as possible, while keeping the
brake funcon consistent.
Turn the handlebars 360 degrees and note whether the plate
ops forward and back, or if it ops the same way. If it ops
forward and back, adjust the upper cable barrel adjusters
unl the op is reduced. If the op is the same way, then
adjust the lower cables unl the op is reduced. Somemes
both need to be adjusted. The best thing to do is to adjust the
lower cables rst unl the bearing unit has an equal gap on
the le and right sides, then adjust the upper barrel
adjusters unl the op is minimal or none at all.
Note: See Secon 4: Adjusng the Brakes for further
adjustment of the caliper brakes.
